A Private Named Moon

There once was a private named Moon.

He was taller than most in his platoon.

Some said he was a kind hearted goon.

His problem was a drill sergeant named Wreds.

Because Moon was taller than Wreds by two heads.

It’s very difficult to take a scolding seriously

When the sergeant’s head meets you mysteriously

In your neverlands

This truly did happen to a close family member, but I cannot tell you who.
